    Why is Bo Derek now "Bo" while her birth name is Mary? I get the "Derek" part, but where did the "Bo" come from?

    Question #59253. Asked by an alias.

    5. What made you change your name from Mary Cathleen - with the nickname Cathy - to Bo?

    Derek: I was 17, living in Europe and I just wanted something more grown-up, I guess, than Cathy. ... I tried many, many names and I really don't know where Bo came from. But it is unusual and I liked it right away. And I never had a problem adjusting to it.
